ABOUT PLoP
The International Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs, People & Practices
Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP) conference is a premier event for pattern enthusiasts to gather, discuss, and learn. Originally focused on software-related patterns and pattern languages, PLoP has expanded into all aspects of the built world—anything that is designed and made by people, including organizations, culture, and individual practice.
PLoP 2025 welcomes paper authors and nonauthors alike! Writers Workshops offer authors feedback on their papers while Imagination Run Wild sessions offer everyone, including nonauthors, a chance to share in a variety of session formats.
PLoP brings together practitioners and researchers whose interests span a broad range of topics, but all of whom share an interest in exploring the power of patterns. PLoP invites you to add your expertise to the growing body of patterns. At PLoP we focus on improving the written expression of patterns (both their form and content) through writers’ workshops. We also welcome workshops and presentations under the umbrella of “let your imagination run wild” sessions, which as the title suggests, are limited only by your imagination. Proposals may be in the form of a workshop, presentation, lightening talk, or whatever. Bring it on!
Whether you’re a pattern novice, an expert, interested in sharing, or curious about learning, you are welcome to contribute to the PLoP 2025 program with a paper and/or an “Imagination Run Wild” session.
